About Dale Cooper
No full textDale J. Cooper (b. 1941) is chaplain emeritus of Calvin College (now University), a position he held for thirty years, starting in 1979. The chaplaincy, he said, offered the best of three worlds—the opportunity to teach, to preach, and to be a pastor to 4,000 students. Cooper—known to decades of students as “Coop”—initiated the LOFT worship service on campus in 1996.
In 2008, after retiring from his role as chaplain and religion professor, Cooper joined the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship as a resource development specialist for liturgical spirituality. His contributions included a four-year run as author of Coop’s Column, featuring spiritual reflections on Christian worship. Cooper also became an adjunct faculty member in Calvin’s department of Congregational and Ministry Studies, where he has served as a pastoral mentor in the Jubilee Fellows program. With the advent of the Calvin Prison Initiative in 2015, Cooper also began teaching at the Richard A. Handlon Correctional Facility.
Cooper’s writings over the years have included a study guide to the Psalms, meditations for the Calvin journal Dialogue, and a twelve-part series highlighting John Calvin’s teachings for The Banner. Cooper was ordained in the Christian Reformed Church of North America in 1972. Before joining the Calvin College faculty in 1976, he worked for five years at Calvin Christian High School and Unity Christian High School.
In recognition of his extensive impact on campus and beyond, Cooper was named the recipient of Calvin’s Faith and Learning Award in 2017. He also received the Calvin Theological Seminary Distinguished Alumni Award in 2015.
Cooper earned a bachelor’s degree from Calvin College (1964), an MDiv degree from Calvin Theological Seminary (1968), and a doctorandus degree from the Free University of Amsterdam (1971). His family has established the Dale and Marcia Cooper Family Scholarship to benefit international students at Calvin. His stated life\u27s aim: To live faithfully as Jesus\u27 disciple for the world to see.https://digitalcommons.calvin.edu/cicw-staff-work/1003/thumbnail.jp
Ep. #026 - Dale Jamieson
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.It’s Dominic’s birthday and he’ll cry if he wants to. Your co-hosts first talk green virtue and anthropocenic temperance and Cymene’s childhood close encounter with a tiger. We then (9:02) welcome to the podcast a very distinguished guest, Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at New York University and author of Reason in a Dark Time (Oxford University Press, 2014). We talk at length about his moving collaborative project with novelist Bonnie Nadzam (author of Lamb and Lions) and their recently published collection, Love in the Anthropocene (http://www.orbooks.com/catalog/love-in-the-anthropocene-by-jamieson-and-nadzam/). Dale posits love as the antithesis of narcissism and describes why contact with the real is so much more important than enveloping ourselves in fantasy. We talk hierarchy and class and why the Anthropocene will be better for some than for others. Yet, Dale emphasizes the newness of our present situation and says we should spend more time thinking and trying to understand our problems and less time relying on familiar categories and chasing solutions. Tracking back to Dale’s earlier work, we touch on the virtues, our need to recover agency, why we should tax email, and the intergenerational ethics of climate change. Then we turn to his current research on how the Anthropocene has challenged the categories and practices of liberalism, eroding both our traditional agency presupposition and public/private distinctions. The point being that we really don’t know how to govern in the Anthropocene—and, maybe we didn’t in the Holocene either! But in any case we live in a time in need of a great deal of political experimentation. We close with how surfing brought Dale to Environmental Studies and why philosophy matters in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Do you think we have too much populism and not enough democracy? Listen on
